This may possibly be true in relation to psychosis, but definitely not true regarding all mental illness. For example, a person who is clincially depressed knows full well that he/she is mentally ill.

Pn the other hand, someone in a manic bipolar state may be completely unaware.

But many non-psychotic mentally ill people may well be more "aware" of things by their nature to "scan" their environment constantly due to fear. If graded, I have no doubt I would get an A+ in scanning.
Thanks for this!
